1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pseudouridine (5-ribosyluracil, Ψ) is the only 'mass-silent' nucleoside produced by post-transcriptional RNA modification. We describe here a novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for direct determination of Ψ in RNA. The method assigns a Ψ-containing nucleolytic RNA fragment by an accurate measurement of a signature doubly dehydrated nucleoside anion ([C9H7N2O4](1-),m/z207.04) produced by collision-induced dissociation MS, and it determines the Ψ-containing nucleotide sequence by pseudo-MS(3), i.e. in-source fragmentation followed by MS(2) By applying this method, we identified all of the known Ψs in the canonical human spliceosomal snRNAs and, unexpectedly, found two previously unknown Ψs in the U5 and U6 snRNAs. Because the method allows direct determination of Ψ in a subpicomole quantity of RNA, it will serve as a useful tool for the structure/function studies of a wide variety of non-coding RNAs.
